Save Energy by Adding Insulation to Your Attic Today

I’m sure you have already noticed that the winter season has brought rapidly dropping temperatures. Odds are this has resulted in you cranking up your thermostat in order to heat up your home. If it’s been harder to keep your home heated or if you’ve noticed an unusual spike in your heating bills, then you should strongly consider adding insulation to your attic.

Uninsulated or Under-Insulated Attics

When your heating system produces heat, that heat will automatically rise up through your home. If your attic is not properly insulated, then your heat will simply rise up into your attic, where it will most likely just leave your home. This is the last thing you want! Not only do you not need to heat your attic space, the last thing you want is for your heat to leak out of your home. You want your heat to stay inside your home in order to keep it comfortable.

Benefits of Adding Insulation

By insulating your attic, you’ll help keep your heat in your home, the same way a blanket keeps you warm at night. Adding insulation to your attic will provide you with a number of benefits. The biggest benefit is that it keep the heat in the living spaces of your home. By adding insulation your heating system will be doing less work, since it will no longer have to work continuously in order to replace all heat lost through the attic. This, in turn, will help cut down on your heating bills.

AttiCat Blown In Insulation

There are a number of different ways that you can insulate your attic, but the most effective is through the use of AttiCat expanding blown-in insulation. Using blown-in insulation takes less than four hours to do and can be placed wherever you need it, including hard to reach ‘nooks and crannies’. The insulation material consists of fiberglass which is released and expanded inside the machine, helping to prevent large messes. Because it is broken up and fluffed within the machine, millions of additional tiny air pockets are added, helping to provide even more insulating power. The fiberglass insulation will not settle once it is applied, which means that it will keep it’s R-value over time. The R-value is a rating based on how effective it is as an insulator.

I wanted to let you know about an experience I had with one of your employees. I live at 1200 Knottingham Court in Kingsport Estates and apparently, your company is servicing our condo association. My building has had a leak in the entryway for several months and Eddie was dispatched out to have me show him the source of the leak inside. I met him on Friday, September 21st and just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with his friendliness and professionalism. He immediately found the source of the leak and even went up on the roof to show me. He assured me that someone would take care of it as soon as possible and told me he would give the report priority to avoid any further damage. As someone who used to be in Customer Service, I always value a company that hires people that are not only skilled at their trade, but also skilled at interacting with people. Eddie is a great example of that and I wanted you to know so you could tell him what a great job he does! I am so glad that Alma Management chose Adams Roofing to be our roofing contractor!...

Charlie, Thanks very much for replacing the gutter! No one has been out to do it, at least before I left for work this morning. But I will definitely let you know whether it’s done correctly. I am very satisfied with your roofing job. It looks great, and more importantly, there were no leaks when it rained (even though we haven’t gotten really hard rains yet). So, I have been very pleased with my experience with Adams, especially with the professionalism and responsiveness of you and Dan. Thanks.... [more]

I wanted to take a moment to comment on your technician, Eddie. Eddie was assigned to inspect a roof leak I am having in my home in Cobblestone Circle. He was prompt, professional, courteous and informative; everything a customer could ask for when inviting a contractor into their home. Eddie represents Adams Roofing Well; and clearly he is an asset to your company. Kudos to him! Thank you.... [more]
